Oh, this is a good time of year to be a hockey fan. Only three games today, but they’re spaced so far apart that I get to see all of them, heh heh heh. And who knows, maybe by the time the Wings and Kings get started at 23h30 the Tigers and Cleveland rain delay will be over. Sheesh.

You ever had two of those days? Yesterday my hard drive decided to bite the dust, scaring the shit out of me in the process. Living without a working computer for about 24 hours was sheer hell, and given everything I had on my old hard drive, chat logs with L., C. and J., a crapload of stuff I downloaded off the ‘net, my virtual cat, I was afraid I’d lost it all.
